"My experience working with Carrie Mendez was nothing short of excellent and I would strongly recommend her as a home broker. My story is not unique to this town – after moving my business from the West Coast I wanted to purchase an above median price multi-bedroom home within close proximity to downtown Austin in a seller’s market.Carrie puts her clients first… period. She has in-depth knowledge of Austin and surrounding areas, solid real estate execution skills, is highly responsive, and is a tireless advocate of your interests. Her advice was right on the money even running counter to what could generate her a larger or faster sale (meaning it was totally honest). Her pre-selected home viewings were far and away better than anything I selected on my own meaning she knows her market and clients. She’s not ashamed to negotiate and take a hard stand if you need or want her to – something many brokers are somewhat unwilling or actually embarrassed to do. She listens to your needs and is super responsive. When I needed counsel at 11pm Carrie responded within minutes. When I needed documents signed while traveling in rural parts of Eastern Europe, Carrie was on it. Most importantly she puts your interests over her own. When my financing for the house hit a rough patch (no fault of hers, but because of an underwriter I chose) delaying my closing and inadvertently scaring the seller she went above and beyond to ensure the deal would work. That’s real commitment. In a hot real estate market it seems like anyone with a pretty smile is trying to be a broker – but few will work as hard or are as experienced in Austin as Carrie. Home buying in an intensive process and Carrie is a valuable asset to have in your corner. I was very happy in my decision to work with her." - Christopher

"Carrie is a true gem in the real estate world . When we moved to Austin, Carrie worked round the clock to make sure our family found the perfect home! She continuously put our minds at ease by answering any and all questions and concerns throughout the home buying process. Carrie’s upbeat and fun loving personality made her a joy to be around. We not only found a beautiful home but we also made a dear friend. If we are ever in the market to buy or sell a home, we know exactly who to call and who will work endlessly in our best interest . Carrie Mendez not only knows the ins and outs of the real estate game, she also cares about her clients!" - Holly and Dave

"Carrie was a joy to work with. We put together a very unique real estate deal that included a significant amount of work that needed to be done on the property before close. Carrie went out of her way to research permits and land surveys to make sure that we correctly evaluated the property, and could move forward with confidence. It is hard to not become emotionally involved when you find a property that you really love, and Carrie was a great sounding board helping us evaluate whether the risk was worth the reward – especially for a fixer upper. The construction caused our deal to drag out for over 4 months, and Carrie stayed diligent throughout the entire process making sure that everything was on track. I have worked with other realtors in the past, but from here on out my family will be loyal to Carrie and her team! Thanks for everything" - Blake & Brooke

I’ve been a home buyer 4 times and have had excellent agents, and I promise that Carrie is impeccable. She is trustworthy, experienced, friendly, and respectful of your needs and situation. FURTHERMORE, I am an out-of-state buyer and I could not have been more impressed by Carrie’s above-and-beyond service of my questions and needs. She prioritizes you. Whether I called, emailed, or texted, in the morning, middle of the busy afternoon, or at night, Carrie would reply in a friendly, professional manner. She is gracious, and she KNOWS WHAT TO DO during walk-throughs, negotiations, inspections, and closing processes. Together, we found my best house, got the best price and terms EVER, and she brought me the best team – from communication to trustworthy referrals, Carrie is AMAZING. She will make everything easy on you, and puts in a ton of time and service on your behalf. so you don’t have to do it. Carrie, I can’t thank you enough for being who you are and bringing your best to your profession!" - Helen

"Having recently moved to Austin, my wife and I needed an experienced, knowledgeable real estate agent. We were lucky to find Carrie Mendez. Her knowledge and familiarity of the Austin area is tremendous and in the local market that is essential. Several times we went to see new listings and found they already had several offers. She tirelessly continued to search for the right home for us. When we found the house we wanted, Carrie guided us through the closing process, recommending a terrific lender and title company. Just before the closing date, we had a medical emergency and Carrie arranged for all parties to meet at the hospital to sign papers. Carrie went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find the right home and made the entire process extremely smooth. We highly recommend Carrie Mendez and will definitely enlist her professional services in the future." - Don
